Factory Audit (FA)

What is Factory Audit?

Factory audits are audits that are specially designed to check the processes and procedures in place at the organization. These audits also check the organization against the internationally accepted standards like the ISO9001.

The ISO 9001 series is based on seven quality management principles (QMP):

Customer focus.
Leadership
Engagement of people.
Process approach.
Improvement
Evidence-based decision making.
Relationship management.
